Seeing Zhang Liang walking by, Huang Shigong deliberately took off his shoes and asked Zhang Liang to put them on for him. Zhang Liang did as he was told. Huang Shigong happily accepted his disciple and ordered him to wait for the letter to be delivered to the bridge five days later. Zhang Liang was late. After another five days, Zhang Liang began to wait at the third watch, and finally got the wonderful book to drive the troops to Dunjia and stabilize the country.

The Hanging Sword Platform
The Hanging Sword Platform is located under the northeastern embankment of the south sluice gate in Zhangqiu Town. It is also called the Hanging Sword Temple. It is called Jizi Temple, and there is Xu Jun's tomb next to it. In the Yuan Dynasty, there was an ancient stele inscription with the characters "The place where Jizha hangs his sword at Xu Jun's tomb". In the 11th year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty (1516), Yang Chun, who served as a river management officer in Zhang Qiugong's department, built the Jizi Temple and built a stele with poems on it. Later, during the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty, the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, literati and officials who came to Zhangqiu successively inscribed monuments and continued to build the Jizi Temple. The Five-Tiered Thirteen Steles are the thirteen poetry stelae that have been preserved to this day. Except for one fragment that has only the remaining characters, the other twelve stelae are basically legible. The stele is engraved with 26 poems by 13 authors. The fonts are both regular script, cursive script and seal script, which are of great calligraphy value. Among them, the poet Sa Tianxi of the Yuan Dynasty, and the poems of the Ming Dynasty writers Li Dongyang, Tu Long, and Fu Guangzhai are the most eye-catching. In particular, Tu Long's poem stele provides precious physical information for the study of his life and poetry creation.
Jizha Hanging Sword In the Spring and Autumn Period, the fourth son of King Wu Shoumeng was named Jizha. He once went north to meet Xu Jun of Xu State. Xu Jun liked Ji Zha's sword very much, but he was too embarrassed to ask for it. Ji Zha also noticed it, but because he had to go on a mission to Qi, Lu, Jin and other countries, he had to wear a sword, so he didn't give the sword to Xu Jun. . When he returned from his mission and went to Xu State, Xu Jun was already dead, so Jizha hung his sword on the tree next to Xujun's grave and returned to the country. His entourage asked Jizha: "Xujun is dead." "Who are you dedicating the sword to?" Jizha said: "You can't say that. When I passed through the country of Xu, I had already promised in my heart to dedicate the sword to Jun Xu. How can I violate my inner feelings just because he is dead? Where's the promise?"
